Hello everyone, my name is Eveline and I just found this forum while trying to look for something -anything- to get through my panic attack. And I have to say, it's down from a 10 to a 6 out of 10.... Slowly improving...
I'm 32, and moved from Holland to the Uk a few months ago. I had my first panic attack a few years ago during a Bon Jovi concert. I loooove Bon Jovi, but suddenly I felt I could not breath, there were so many people there, and the stadium had its roof closed. It was sooo hot! I spent some time with the nurses back stage, (well, not 'really' backstage obviously.... would've totally fainted if Jon had come up to say hi. ;) ) and then had the worst time trying to get back to the concert. I wanted to, but didn't want to, if you know what I mean.... Terrible feeling....
After I moved here (left my ex, told my family I was moving to live with my english boyfriend, to say it did not go down very well is a huge understatement and I've been either getting guilt tripping emails or been ignored by family.......) I got panic attacks. Ones where I felt I was choking, or about to vomit, which I'm very phobic about. Thankfully my love is very understanding, and takes me for walks around the neighbourhood or the park if needed.
He's not here right now, which is probably why it's taking so long for the panic to die down, it's been over 3 hours now...
Anyway, I'm very happy to have found this site. Typing here has already proven to help me!
